Kayla is such a lovely person, she was truly one of the best parts of our wedding. She made our ceremony feel so special and truly took the time to get to know us and what we found meaningful. Several of our guests commented on how highly they thought of her. We have zero regrets choosing her to be our officiant.
Kayla was absolutely incredible! She took the time to get to know us and made our ceremony so personal, heartfelt, and memorable. Her calm presence and thoughtful words created a beautiful atmosphere that perfectly reflected our love story. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to officiate our wedding, and we are so grateful for her kindness and professionalism.
Kayla was the best! We did our premarital counseling with her and I'm so glad we did. It was a delight to get to know her, and the counseling was very helpful and allowed her to put a nice personal touch on our ceremony. She worked with us to build the ceremony script exactly how we wanted it to be and it was perfect. We highly recommend Kayla and her services to anybody getting married in the Charlottesville area!
We are so incredibly happy that Kayla Allen was our officiant! She was an absolutely wonderful and calming presence on what could have been a very stressful, hectic day. From the beginning, Kayla took the time to truly get to know us, and it felt like she genuinely cared about making our ceremony personal and meaningful.
She worked closely with us on our vows, offering support and guidance every step of the way. Kayla was super responsive, receptive to our ideas, and always friendly, making the entire process seamless. She was punctual, professional, and truly went above and beyond.
We could not have asked for a better officiant and highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for someone caring and dependable to make their day extra special!
Kayla was INCREDIBLE through the entire process! My now husband and I decided to get eloped with only a couple weeks notice. Not only did Kayla help design a personalized ceremony for us, but she also came up with the perfect location AND doubled as a wonderful photographer on top of officiating! I could not recommend Kayla as an officiant enough!
We won the lottery with Kayla! You will instantly feel the warmth and connection from the start. We would highly recommend doing the premarital counseling. She reaffirms your compatibilities and emphasizes the steps to take to create a happy, lifelong marriage. She got to know us well and was able to personalize the speech to us. The rehearsal was efficient and smooth under her direction. She provided a great template to personalize the ceremony speech with beautiful excerpts and suggestions that made it easy for us to have the most perfect day. We are so honored and happy to have her in our memories when we reflect on our wedding day. She will go above and beyond to make your day special!
We are so grateful we got to work with Kayla for our September 2024 wedding! She brought so much warmth and joy to our ceremony -- everyone was laughing, crying, or both! Though we opted for a non-religious ceremony, Kayla did a wonderful job making it feel symbolic and heartfelt. We loved collaborating with Kayla on the script -- this resulted in a ceremony that felt very personal and unique to us. Kayla was responsive, organized, and an all-around wonderful person to have in our corner on our wedding day -- she is the best!
Kayla Allen helped to make our wedding day perfect by meeting with us on multiple occasions to handcraft our ceremony. She took the time to get to know us and our goals for our ceremony, and made us feel so at ease. Kayla Allen is accommodating to both religious/spiritual and nonreligious/nonspiritual couples, which also made us feel so comfortable with her. We were told by multiple guests how beautiful and uniquely “us” our ceremony was, and that is completely due to Kayla Allen’s ability to understand each and every couple she works with. We cannot recommend her enough!
If you’re looking for the perfect wedding officiant, look no further than Kayla! Our original officiant canceled just three weeks before our wedding, and finding Kayla was truly a blessing in disguise. We weren’t exactly sure what we wanted for the ceremony, but Kayla made everything so easy. She sent us a packet of different options that we could mix and match, allowing us to personalize our ceremony in a way that felt authentic to us.
We also wanted to include my fiancé’s daughters as part of the ceremony, and Kayla came up with a beautiful and creative idea that incorporated them into our vows in the most meaningful way. Throughout the entire process, Kayla was incredibly communicative and supportive. She guided us through every step, from obtaining our marriage license to the rehearsal and the big day itself.
Kayla is warm, professional, and truly listens to the wants and needs of the couple. She made us feel comfortable and confident, and she’s just such a joy to be around. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Don’t think twice—choose Kayla!
My husband Layne and I could not be more grateful to have had Kayla Allen as our wedding officiant. Kayla took the time to get to know us leading up to our ceremony and made us feel comfortable and excited about our big day. Our ceremony was elegant, intimate, lighthearted, and warm while carrying the strong emotion the day deserved. We could not have been happier with Kayla's role in our wedding.
Kayla was incredible. She made us truly feel in the moment, and we could not be more thankful for her. Highly recommend!
Kayla was the perfect fit for our ceremony! She helped us design a custom experience for the occasion. Her voice is soothing yet set the tone for our Wedding. Kayla was the perfect officiant to accent the wedding without overpowering our vision. A lovely Officiant and Friend!
Kayla was the perfect officiant for our wedding! She was a great recommendation by our wedding planner, and truly felt like we got to know her in our meetings! She really took the time to get to know us as a couple and curated the perfect ceremony for us! Our ceremony was so beautiful, and that is all thanks to Kayla! She gives helpful advice on the marriage license process and name change. We couldn't be more happy and thankful for Kayla! Choose her, you won't regret it!
Kayla was great and knowledgeable about the marital process for the state of Virginia. We were very fortunate to have someone of her knowledge since this was our first marriage. Kayla helped with our ceremony drafts with review and suggestions, and did telephone calls and coaching with the woman who presided our wedding ceremony. It was great Kayla came to the wedding venue to marry Michelle and I, as well as mail in the marriage license for us. I would highly recommend Kayla as an officiant for future weddings.
We could not recommend Kayla more!!! Her pre-marital counseling was incredible. She really takes the time to know her couples and she helped us truly unlock our potential and see and love each other more deeply going into our big day. The ceremony she created was intentional, thoughtful, and just perfectly constructed start to finish. She is the BEST!!!
Kayla, was so wonderful during our planning process and day of services. Not only did she officiate our wedding (in 90 degree heat no less) she helped walk us through each step and calmed my last minute nerves. Her ceremony script was great & we were and to add in our personal touches. Kayla’s officiant services are well worth it!
Kayla was a joy to work with! She helped us navigate the wedding license process so we didn't have to worry about paperwork on our big day. She also helped us craft an authentic ceremony—one that reflected who we are as a couple, and acknowledge the love of our community. But most importantly, Kayla's calming presence was a breath of fresh air in the midst of a hectic time.
Kayla was a wonderful officiant who made the arcane process of marriage licensing in Virginia easy and understandable. She also prepared a wonderful ceremony for us. As a gay couple without the aid of tradition to fall back on, this was a huge help that made our wedding all the more special and enjoyable.
We had a great experience having Kayla officiate our wedding on June 1. She was easy to communicate with and always quick to respond. She gave us all of the information we needed and made us feel super comfortable. Would highly recommend!!
My husband and I were still in search of an officiant in January 2024 for our May 2024 wedding- We were from out of town and were struggling with finding someone who didn't feel like a complete stranger. We wanted a ceremony that was spiritual and embodied our relationship/love for one another. Our wedding planner recommended Kayla. After we met with Kayla over video chat, my husband and I were both in agreement that she was everything we were hoping for. Kayla is warm, bubbly and has a way of putting you at ease. She perfectly crafted our ceremony for us and allowed us to be a part of the planning process. We felt like we had known Kayla longer than a few short months.
On the day of our wedding, she was on time and was able to meet with me before I walked down the aisle- she calmed my nerves and gave me words of support. It unfortunately started to rain, but despite this she delivered our ceremony unphased by the weather and made it so very special for us! We will remember it forever.
I highly recommend working with Kayla- she cares so much about the couples she works with. She will be someone we keep in touch with forever!
